GARIVIENT-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 785,843, dated March 28, 1905.

Application filed January 11,1905. Serial No. 240.553.

'partly in elevation, thereof; Fig. 3, an enlarged cross-section on line 3 3, Fig. l; and Fig. 4, a cross-section on line 4 4, Fig. 2.

The casing a of the 4garment-pin is of semitubular form in cross-section and is slightly curved from end to end, so that the base a of the pin lies snugly against the body of the wearer. lf desired, any desirable jewelrysetting (L2 may be mounted on the casing. To

one of the end plates (L3 of casing L is secured a Vlixed hook l), the shank of which extends into the casing and is here provided with an eye b.- The second end plate a4 of the casing has a squared opening for the reception of the correspondingly-squared stem c. of a slidable hook c, which is thus prevented from turning. The squared stem c also extends into casing a and is here provided with an eye c2. A coiled spring d, engaging the eyes b/ c2, tends to normally draw the hook c inward, its outward movement being limited by the engagement of the eye c2 with the end plate a4.

To attach the pin, the hook c is drawn out, both hooks are inserted into the garment ,and then the hook c is released to be drawn inward by its spring, and to thus secure the pin in position. A reverse manipulation of the parts will detach the pin from the garment.

What I claim is- A garment-pin provided with a curved semicylindrical casinghaving a squared opening, a fixed hook secured to one end of the casing and having an inwardly-projecting shank, a movable hook having a squared shank that engages the squared opening, and a spring connecting the hook-Shanks, substantially as speciiied.

Signed by me, at New York city, Manhattan, New York, this 10th day of January, 1905.
